Telltale Games announced its development of a 'Back to the Future' game way back in June, and specific details are finally beginning to emerge. USA Today (USA Today? Really?) scored the scoop on the time-traveling Hill Valley hijinxes, and Marty and Doc Brown are expected to star in their customary, primary roles.

Back in 2008, Nike released a pair of special edition 'Back to the Future II' inspired high-tops, but, as badass as the Marty McFly 2015 Nike ...

This is Matthew Riese. That thing next to him? That's his hover DeLorean. Seriously. This 26-year-old grad student and San Francisco resident is building one of the most amazing and ridiculous things we have ever seen -- a completely custom, wood and fiberglass hovercraft, modeled after one of the most iconic failures in automotive history. For the past two years, Riese has been working ...

Share We don't really need to reminisce about how direly and viscerally we pined for the day when we would get to rock our very own Hoverboards, á la 'Back to The Future Part II,' because we know that you all wanted one, too. Now, in an expression of '80s nostalgia, tech experimentation, and nerdy fandom of the most extreme order, French artist Nils Guadagnin has created an actual ...

Tired of waiting for scientists to crack the secrets of levitation in order to purchase a bona fide hoverboard? Look, life's short -- why not take matters into your own hands?

Remember those cool Nike high-tops that Marty McFly wore in 'Back to the Future?'The ones that laced themselves and you wished you had a pair just like them? If so, listen up: Nike is releasing the Marty McFly 2015's as the Nike Hyperdunks. They won't lace themselves, unfortunately, but will be made of Nike's super light-weight materials. They'll be shilled by Kobe Bryant in black, and we'll be ...

Good news, McFly. The Mr. Fusion home reactor, which of course made time travel possible again at the end of 'Back to the Future,' may soon be a reality ... sort of. Researchers at the Institute of Technological Research and the Technological Institute of Aeronautics have announced that they are working on a device that would break down garbage by sending it through a turbine with gas heated to an ...

Surely you remember the DeLorean, the stainless steel, gull-winged car made famous by 'Back To The Future' and a cocaine scandal surrounding its womanizing founder. Turns out a lot of people remember the DeLorean, and they want it back.
